Gloomy Sunday
Paul Robeson once sang a song by that name. It was banned because it was so sad that the authorities were afraid that there would be even more suicides. Rezso Seress, who composed the music killed him self in 1968 because he never wrote another tune that could match the haunting power of gloomy Sunday.
Today I feel gloomy too. Rob is working, Dom is staying with Bonnie till Wednesday and Olivier has gone off, complete with Xbox to a friends for the afternoon. It’s cold and dull outside. Yuck

About Me

I'm interested in a lot of things. In recent years I've been selling old French postcards and love researching the history behind them. Sometimes I'm inspired to write a short story about my postcards.

Life begins at 40 but it really gets going in the 50s, then on with the sweet 60s!
